Shut Up, Chuck
Charles A Beard (1874 - 1948) was a controversial American historian in the first half of the 20th Century, in part, because he argued the Founders’s motives were rooted in Economics and their wealth and not in lofty philosophical ideals. Since his work bears directly on the talk I’m giving at the Saratoga Springs Historical Society early next year, I thought you might be curious about his views.
